FAQs

Can I use firm or silken tofu for this recipe?

Firm tofu is best as it holds its shape well during cooking. Silken tofu is softer and may break apart but can be used if you prefer a creamier texture.

Is Thai curry paste spicy?

Yes, Thai curry paste typically has a moderate to high level of spice depending on the brand and type. You can adjust the amount in the recipe to match your preferred heat level.
